LOL...I've taken a ton of pictures of reef tanks and livestock and those blennies are almost ALWAYS in view of the lens. They could just be 'standing' their ground at this strange box thing moving along the tank...LOL. That is a strange looking 'bud', but I don't know enough about that kind of coral to say if it is growing a baby or growing a bone. Most corals I've seen (at least in soft coral) is the babies are sprouted from the foot of the coral; not the top. However, new bone growth for expansion does happen along the tops of SPS.

BTW...nice piece!! Oh...and when two animals of different coral and anemone species come into contact, it's absolute chemical warfare. Injury is likely to occur to both if they were to get tangled together. Try to keep the coral in the same general vacinity and secured more to the rocks. It's obviously very happy right where it's at.

We, as a people, know so much more about outer space than we do about our own oceans. This lack of knowledge can very well spell the dangers that lay in wait for us.

The oceans surely would swallow us before a rock comes down to smite the planet of it's life.
